Applying for 2 cards at same time??

in Credit cards
I wonder if any of you credit experts could help me out on this one?
I have a large purchase to make this month and so I applied for the best two interest-free cards last month becaue I couldn't be sure whether the credit limit would be high enough on one.
I applied for sainsbury's and halifax and was approved for both over the phone. It was only when they sent the signature forms over that I realised they were identical and must be the same company. Sure enough the addresses were the same.
Anyway, it turned out that the credit limit on the sainsbury's card was enough for what I needed so I just returned that one and I've received it.
Then a week or so later, greed got the better of me and I sent off the halifax one as well. Now I'm worried that they might realise that i've applied for 2 cards from them and think it's a bit dodgy. Does anyone think this will be a problem??
